Luo Chen had been away for quite some time, so he decided to pay a visit to his home before returning to the academy.
Even though Ye Gan was not really his father, he could still feel his fatherly love.
Sky City, Ye family’s courtyard.
Luo Chen had mixed feelings.
‘Knock! Knock! Knock!’
A guard opened the door. He was shocked to see Luo Chen and began shouting, “Young master has returned!”
Everyone in the Ye family stopped what they were doing and came out to welcome him.
Luo Chen was confused.
‘I’m just visiting home. It’s not like anything big has happened. I bet if it was Ye Mei Er, the situation would be the complete opposite.’
Since he was the future heir of the Ye family, the family’s subordinates would obviously welcome him with open arms.
Somehow, Luo Chen was too dumb to figure this out.
“Luo Chen! My Luo Chen is back?”
Ye Gan stared at Luo Chen who was in front of him. Tears began flowing down his cheeks.
“Isn’t this a little too much? I’ve only been away for a few months. There’s no need to cry.”
“Look at the saint-grade pet beside him. Our young master is really extraordinary!”
“Yea, he actually managed to bond with a saint pet!”
“Hahaha! It seems like the Ye family is blessed by the heavens. Our future is bright!”
Not only Ye Gan, but everyone else began crying.
They were proud of Luo Chen’s achievement.
“We have good matches to look forward to,” said the butler.
“What match? Has someone taken over my position?” asked Luo Chen.
“Of course not! A spirit stone mine was discovered by both our family and the Li family. At first, we wanted to share but the Li family changed their mind halfway through. They felt that they were the experts and should have ownership over the mine. The Li family is one of the strongest in Sky City, so the probability of our family winning is very low.”
“What? One of the strongest in Sky City? Please, they are nothing compared to me. Everyone praises me in the academy. What does the Li family have? If we let them be, they’ll take advantage of us.”
Luo Chen could not let anyone hurt his fragile ego.
“The Li family did not have anything before but recently, they were involved with the first prince. So, their family grew at a rapid pace and became number one in Sky City.”
The butler explained further.
“Relying on the prince? I really want to see what they’re capable of,” said Luo Chen as if he was not relying on his duplication power ever since the beginning.
…
In the central square of Sky City, a crowd had gathered.
Everyone knew the feud between the Ye family and the Li family. They came to watch the show. Most of them were just regular people, but they enjoyed watching summoned beasts fight. In this world, there were barely any entertainment activities, so this was the best they got.
There was a huge arena in the middle of the square. It was used for holding competitions. This is where families would settle their grudges.
People with high status would get to sit in the front row.
There were a total of five big families in Sky City. Other than the Ye family, it includes the Li family, the Wang family, the Sun family, and the Zhou family.
Today’s main characters were the Ye family and the Li family. Everyone else was just spectators.
“There are limits to the fight. Summoners can be attacked, but not fatally. Summoning spells can also be used, but realm creatures are not allowed. This competition is a one-on-one battle. Each side can only send out a total of five representatives. Whoever that defeated all the opponent’s summoned beasts will be the victor.”
The referee explained the rules on stage. After that, he retreated into the crowd.
Just as the referee left the stage, a person from the Li family jumped up and shouted, “If you have the guts, send someone forward.”
“It’s Li Dong! The Li family actually sent him out first,” muttered the butler to a white-bearded old man.
The white-bearded old man was the Ye family’s great elder. His name was Ye Tian. As a level twenty-nine summoner, he was the second most powerful person in the Ye family. Since this was a small city, his level was considered very high.
“I can handle him,” said Luo Chen.
Before the great elder could reply, Luo Chen had already gone up to the stage. The great elder was stunned.
“What a reckless boy.”
The crowd became very lively. Everyone had heard of Luo Chen’s name and his achievements.
“It’s Luo Chen!”
“Doesn’t he have school to attend?”
“Is he on vacation?”
“All that matters is that we get to watch a good show! Who do you think will win?”
“My vote is for Li Dong.”
“Me too. I heard that had already bonded with three high-grade pets. Luo Chen is no match for him.”
“He’s just a guy who relies on others. The first prince has taken a fancy to his sister so he would do anything to win their family’s favor. I can’t believe that he shamelessly asked for three high-grade pets. How else did you think he got them?”
Li Dong was being watched by everyone.
The clash was about to begin.
Everyone wanted to know who would win.
“Don’t worry, I’m your sister’s acquaintance. I’ll go easy on you!” taunted Li Dong.
“Really? You know my sister?”
Luo Chen frowned.
‘Ye Mei Er hardly visited home. I don’t think he’s telling the truth..’
